Hearings of European Commissioners-designate

From the 29th September until the 7th October 2014 the European Parliament will question European Commissioners-designate to assess their suitability to fill the posts awarded to them by European Commission President-elect Juncker. Following these hearings, the political groups will assess the candidates ahead of a confirmation vote by the European Parliament in the plenary week beginning 20th October.
